I gave up years ago. Security fatigue permeates my entire life.

I have no idea about how to protect a password manager with an encrypted container.

And to be honest with you, it’s not something I’m likely to do even if you do attempt to explain the 60 minute long $10 18-step process to me. Or however long it takes and whatever it costs.

And really, for all my ignorant ass knows you could’ve just as well been encouraging me to get malware and I’d be none the wiser.

Just call then out on it in talk by mentioning why you would add it.

Alternatively make an upgraded English-only wiki alternative with way larger article max sizes so we can finally evolve it past 2005. And start using YouTube links and not (just) a native video player. And start quoting/including entire chapters from relevant books.

Reddit is a sausagefest and no, woman, you can’t have any sausage!

It’s so weird that you keep it up. You’ve been committed to this for like half a year basically every day now?

Comment105 ,

I just wanna pitch something:

What if it was impossible to publish something through a preferred publisher? What if any published piece of music was legal to redistribute with a published fixed global royalty?

As in: You can start a music distribution service and you don’t need to make any deals, you just use what’s out there and pay the fixed fee per user who played the song.

This could perhaps be enforced by there simply being no more legal grounds to stop your service as long as you pay, with fines for secret deals being extremely high and the award for whistleblowing also being very high.

In general I feel like movies, shows and video games could be treated the same. Ending exclusivity has been something I’ve kinda wished to see forever. I think if you reconsider the ethics many of you might conclude that you agree with me.

Comment105 ,

I am not talking about a concept for a company, I’m talking about revised ethics to inform revised laws which could perhaps enable what you seem to describe Grooveshark as.

I think the DMCA experiment has gone on long enough and it’s time to try to mitigate the negative results of it through a different approach.

GEMA aeems to be doing a lot of shit I don’t think should be done, like charging for live performances of GEMA-owned music. I also don’t see why there should be an organization with memberships? That’s not at all related.

I’m also not pitching an organization at all, I wouldn’t expect an additional one to be necessary. It’s just conceived as a legal framework change,

When I’m talking about starting companies, I’m talking about several, not competing through the size of they’re libraries, but rather through other things like cost, quality, UI, searchability, recommendations, etc.

I swear, Lemmy users act like they are completely in favor of an instance of 40 users and a submission every other week. Seeing scale as inherently bad.

Lemmy will fucking roll over and die within the year.

Honestly, I’d tolerate an adless grey timer, you don’t even have to trick it that time has passed.

Just open in another tab, wait for skip option, skip (but probably not in a perfectly timed robotic way), then pause. Grey and silent midroll would be annoying but still tolerable.

People who know programming and how far it can go seem to sometimes trap themselves in very difficult problems that would be great to solve, but undervalue a version without that complicated luxury.

I’m all for trying to solve it, but a tool that doesn’t is still good. I just don’t want to be aware of what the companies want to make me aware of.

A mobile computer heavily optimized to exploit the mental weaknesses of most users to distract and advertize to them as often as possible, while extracting and selling their information.

But it’s also device occassionally reworked by some users to not be so obnoxious, and just a very useful and variable tool with access to an unprecedented library of knowledge. But that really is pretty rare.

How many people can stand in one container?

1 TEU ≈ 13.6m², so 27 @ ~0.5m² per person to not be too dense?

The Ever Given has a 20,124 TEU capacity, so that’s 543,348 people. With fewer people you get more space, including space for food stocks, sleeping quarters, kitchen area, etc.

Comment105 ,

It’s a mint, what could it cost?! $60?

Are you telling me there are people being told their building will be blown up who leave the building to go stand just a few meters away on the street it sits on?

“the cost of living in a terrorist society”

If Hamas orders civilians to stay in buildings that will be bombed, those lives are taken by Hamas, not Israel.

Comment105 ,

How far away from the building did they evacuate?

Yeah okay that’s fucked, that undermines IDF claims completely.

You just invented cumbersome fire. Ugh ugh. No good.

Could you also do ac/dc conversion to make the electricity useful elsewhere? I’m guessing charging and transporting primitive batteries won’t be able to fulfill any useful purpose at all.

Oh you think that’s a take? That’s nothing.

Italian cuisine is distuinguished by one main thing, oily veggies on carbs. Yeah you got cured meat but so do everyone else. You’re the oily veggie boot.

Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple (www.theverge.com)

Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

Comment105 ,

Only thing I know about RCS is that it has caused a few of my texts to never be sent, because the “send as normal text if RCS doesn’t work” also didn’t work. Other than that it has done nothing for me.

Comment105 ,

Your list is far from complete, too.

Comment105 ,

Is it just the estrogen that causes that?

Comment105 ,

If you’ll allow me to mansplain, I think it’s about bone porosity, it’s a trade-off. You can absorb more information without impedance, but you have to deal with being very shiny and reliant on protective gear. Consumption of bone hurting juice is highly conducive to elevated intelligence, but has side effects. It is the mental steroid.

Comment105 ,

…will be met regretfully by executing one of the captives…

We regret this decision but…

Idk if the translation is just wrong, but they’re using the word “regret” weirdly here. Almost seems like a slip of the tongue, betraying their actual regret to have done something so stupid and easily condemnable to such a degree that the international community has a very easy time holding back and not applying much leverage at all in trying to hold Israel back from absolutely obliterating them.

But frankly, I think they’re too zealous to actually regret it at all. They’ll probably live out the rest of their shortened lives in ignorant blissful fervor.

Comment105 ,

I seem to recall quadrant occasionally used for referring to things that are just roughly a quarter of whatever they’re a part of.

Comment105 ,

I’ve been trying but I keep getting banned. The one that didn’t ban me got “defederated” and suddenly everyone is sending angry messages to me.

Comment105 ,

Do what I did and weld your house out of 20mm steel plate and have tightly controlled, thoroughly monitored and analyzed airflow, with a single two-stage entry hallway for washing off and inspecting your terran exploration suit and all acquisitions before entering your home.

I can pull a serious vacuum on this bitch, nothing’s getting in unless I want it in.

Comment105 ,

You missed the point, there’s no leakage for it to make any difference.

Besides, this creature isn’t a gas.

The Chinese characters / text is 变態外人

(romanized “biàn tài wàirén”)

Interestingly, Japanese uses the same characters for hentai, 変態. Tai is notably pronounced the same / similarly, while biàn / hen are different.
